Hi,

I'm wondering if it's possible to apply for the K1 visa without being officially engaged yet? Although planning to, we are not engaged yet and will not see each other until a couple of months -  it would be easier if we could start the process now. Would that be legal?

Do you meet the following?

Its been that way since at least 2007.  

I was running some Saudi Military Aircraft Maintenance programs then.  Had two guys try and renew their passports at the embassy and denied with removal to the US for unpaid support.  Another new hire couldn't get a passport for failure to pay back support.

One of the guys that tried to renew owed three women over $80k total.  Yikes!

We didn't have bank account, mortgage, rental agreement or any of that for our CR1.  I did provide paperwork showing that I added he as beneficiary on my 401K and Pension as well as added her to my health insurance.   No issue for us

Yeah well i only made 8k last year because i was incarcerated. :-(.. So need to make as much as i can this year.

Prob have her come on a tour visa then when this year ends start the k1 process. Plus i think meeting twice one of the times having her come here will help with the visa process..

 

Also do you guys think i should use a lawyer to help with the paperwork or something? I doubt ill get it all correct on my own 

Only costs $160 to try, but highly doubtful she'll get a B visa to visit.

You could always file the extension if you need more time to file.....(As long as you pay an estimate of what you owe if anything)

We had our honeymoon at Daluyon Resert Sabang Beach.  It was pretty awesome.

My MIL is from Bataraza at the southern end, but I haven't made it down there yet.

We plan on buying more land on Palawan to build the summer / retirement home on soon.

I did etickets, passport stamps, wasn't an issue.

I have no problem bringing my divorce paperwork, but I'm just wondering, what proof does anyone have at the embassy or other wise that you were ever married? And for people with more than one divorce, would they need to take all their divorce decrees or just the most recent?

You also mentioned the wedding taking place at your wifes house, if its civil wedding, how can you do it outside of the court? Sorry if that's dumb question. I just assumed civil was by a judge in the Municipals office. Thanks again for your reply, it was a great help.

I brought all my multiple divorce documents to the embassy, they looked at none.  Only had me fill out the form, pay and swear that what I wrote was true.

As for civil weddings, the vice mayor married us at a neighborhood pavilion.  

I guess he thought it was a campaign speech as he talked forever.......
